Robert Pattinson is currently promoting the new "Twilight" film in Australia, and he reportedly told journalists that his off-again/on-again girlfriend Kristen Stewart was "really excited" to play a vampire on the big screen.

In the film, and the books by Stefanie Meyer, Bell (Stewart) yearns to be changed into a vampire so she can spend the rest of her days with lover Edward (Pattinson). It finally happens in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2."

Pattinson revealed to MTV Australia, "She was really excited about being a vampire. Everybody else who'd been pretty consistently in the movies, they'd obviously been playing a vampire like every day for ages. And so it's funny seeing someone suddenly come into it and try and figure out their own version of the physicality and the mentality of it."

He added, "But her character has a different thing, because she's supposed to find it really easy. It's supposed to be a natural progression for her to become a vampire, it's supposed to be simple. So I guess it was kind of different."

The actor has had several moments that stick out in his mind from the making the movies over the past several years. "There's been a few. I mean, going to Brazil on this one was pretty fun, it was pretty crazy. I crashed a speedboat which was pretty exciting! Yeah tons. Tons from the first movie, it was just so different being the first one. I mean we used to travel to set, the entire cast, in a minibus," he explained. "It was so entirely the opposite of what the last one ended up being - like being in helicopters and stuff."

At the end of the month, the couple will be at the same press junket in Los Angeles, as well as the premiere on November 12 in LA. A European tour in England, Spain, and Germany will also feature the two together.
